0004061: Free chasecam gets "locked" while you're dead.
If you die while using the free chasecam, you will be unable to move the view around the actor that you're spying on. This is because in P_PlayerThink, their angle/pitch are updated based on input only when they're not dead.

If they're dead, then P_PlayerThink calls P_DeathThink which changes the player's angle/pitch to gradually face towards the actor that killed them instead.
1. Start an offline multiplayer game with at least one bot.
2. Spy on the bot with the chasecam and "cl_freechase" enabled.
3. Type "kill" in the console.
4. You are now unable to move your view around the bot until you respawn.
No tags attached.

Tested with the latest 3.2 beta and the chase came worked correctly both online and offline when following the steps to reproduce.
